“ This meetup is always inspirational. To see the things that people are working on and to get to hear a quick debate on various technologies is very entertaining and educational.
Thanks to Andrew and James for organizing the group. ”

“ Great for presenters to get good early feedback on your projects, even if they are not ready to launch. 5 minutes is just enough time to get your project in front of others' eyes without having to worry about committing to preparing a long talk. ”

If you've ever visited Hacker News, you've almost certainly seen the "Show HN" or "Ask HN" posts. Well, it's time to get off the Internet and tell us about it face to face. We'll provide you with our honest feedback, you provide us with a great hack or idea.

We'll give you 5 minutes to show off your tool, hack, library (did you just write a library to access the Meetup API in Go!?), whatever. We're language / software/ hardware agnostic, so it's all fair game.

After you present, it's an open forum. The audience will ask questions and provide feedback. We want to enable as much participation as possible at these meetups, so you'd better be able to take criticism and dish it out (all within reason of course).

Our mailing list has a strict no recruiters and no promotion of commercial projects policy. If you think that your message to the list might not be appropriate, either run it by the organizers, or don't send it! Violators will be banned as soon as possible--no questions asked!
